Would gus really want to go to Memphis? Head coach or not.. he has the chance to win Big at Auburn and punch his ticket to any major school... he is making great money and needs to "prove" his O in the big conf. (sec)

Just watched Auburn Football Everyday. Chizik got a little emotional at his post game speech after the Ole MIss game. Also watched the Auburn Review. Had a nice segment on Gus. He kept talking about fast forward a couple of years when he has his recruits here on offense and how it will come together. Should be fun to watch.

Yeah people honestly just like Trooper because he chest bumps kids and waves a towel around...That means nothing as far as coaching is concernedTroop could never be a head coach at a big school IMO im with JGT 100% here

c'mon. gus is going nowhere near memphis. noel mazzone wasn't interested in memphis when he was at AU. that is how the job ultimately fell to west. he had a good run for memphis. i don't see tubs taking a cusa job if he can help it.

I think we're on the tip of a paradigm shift in how things will be reported.

Negativity-as-entertainment is losing its draw. Finebaum's ratings are down in the ONE market I TOTALLY KNOW (Montgomery) and I believe it's because people want more facts/educated speculation and less baloney.

Jay G- I wish he was on. As bad as he is he is 100 times better than Atlanta radio. Atlanta sports radio is PATHETIC. There is only so many time you can listen to Buck talk about Georgia and Steak talk about food.

JayG-I can understand there answer, but I think going to ND now is a builders job. I also think the pressures are less actually than at UA. I also think have a better national draw. I mean you are on NBC every week. With his ability to recruit, and there national limelight (even UA fan have to admit they are a more glamour school) he could build a dynasty there.

Think about this. If you could choose any coach right now. Who would it be? He is on the short list at least. Now, of all those on the short list, who has the smallest buyout clause? Only one man answers the bell.

Your list looks good Jay, but onthat list, who is more inclined to go.

Peterson. I mentioned his name in the AU hunt and was shot down becasue he is a scientologist (though I never found proof of it anywhere)Brian Kelly-Done a great job at Cincy. Would ND take a coach on that low of a stage, again?

Jay, do you mean to tell me that you are not out there doing everything you can to ensure Auburn has a winning football team? Shame on you. You waist your time reporting the news instead of making it like good reporters...wait a minute...never mind.

ND and Brian Kelly make a lot of sense to me. That is the type of coach I can see headed there, not Myer or Saban. Now Saban to Michigan might be an interesting thought, but I just don't see it happening. There are not many schools willing to sell their souls like Bama. Saban has a pretty sweet deal.

As for Tommy West, his rant very much reminds me of a contractor we fired here in Columbia. After being fired he decided to call all of his co-workers and ask why he was fired and have a heart felt discussion. I don't think he appreciated the responses he received.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Petrino will ever be the guy for Auburn. Even if the job was available, which I hope it's not for several years, do we want a guy who's only going to hang around for 2-3 years?

Though I did think it was legit that someone would not know who Walt Harris is. I think he might be in the witness protection program. Or he might be the QB's coach and passing game coordinator at Akron.

Faker, you are forgetting one thing about Saban: he wants another championship.

If he goes 12-0 regular season at Notre Dame, he's in the title game. Guaranteed.

That is also true about Michigan.

I agree ND wouldn't likely give him the kind of total control he currently has at UA.

But Michigan might.

Don't think it hasn't crossed his mind that he could very well finish with two consecutive undefeated seasons and have absolutely nothing besides two "SEC West Champion" banners hanging at Bryan-Dennehey Stadium to show for it.

Jet .....study what Sherman unecessarily did to the south and you would hate too. He went way beyond removing the ability to fight ....he went way beyond trying to break the will to fight ....he systematically burned, killed, starved and stripped innocent families of every shred of their existence ...unless they were a Mason.

I've done quite a bit of study on that subject, Michael (began a fascination with the Enola Gay in 2nd grade), and can say that the bombs make me sad. Sure, it got the job done, but at what cost. There was nothing honorable about what happened.

I know this is "old news" but the angle is so crazy that I'm posting this for anyone who wants to get pissed off some more about that interception-that-wasn't-an-interception-apparently-sec-refs-are-(insert choice word here).

And yes, I know the replay booth didn't have this angle, but I thought the video CBS showed proved it to begin with so whatevs. Good thing I'm not an LSU fan.

Depending on who you believe, some say more lives were saved by dropping the bombs than were taken by them.

But, as a person, if someone says "By killing this innocent family with this knife, you can save 2 other innocent families who would otherwise die," would you be able to pull it off? Women and children screaming as you do it?

no, I wouldn't Michael, because there is no guarantee of death until death happens...unless it was my family, then I'd probably do the wrong thing and take a life to save one I cherish. It would most certainly be wrong, though.

Yeah sorry, long time lurker. Native Georgian. When Shula was at Bama and they were terrible all the time and we beat them every year, I had more hate for UGA than UA-T. Saban has seen to it that that is no longer the case :)

Yeah, that's the crux of the argument there, Michael. Kurt Vonnegut served in the military in WW2, but was haunted all his life by the fire bombing of Dresden he witnessed as a POW that killed tens of thousands of innocent Germans.

A historical military figure once said, "All war is hell." It truly is.

From a 1946 report from the Federal Council of Churches entitled "Atomic Warfare and the Christian Faith":

"As American Christians, we are deeply penitent for the irresponsible use already made of the atomic bomb. We are agreed that, whatever be one's judgment of the war in principle, the surprise bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki are morally indefensible."

I agree...if offered the Memphis job, Malzahn would take it. He knows his offense will tear through whatever teams Memphis plays. And history shows, the best way to become an HC is to be an HC.

Would suck for us though. I'm not sure anyone on our staff knows the O well enough yet to work out the kinks in the SEC.

That's the thing I'm most impressed about...under Tubs, we never seemed to be able to iron out offensive problems during the season. But Malzahn has been tweaking ever since our loss to Ark...and I think those losses will actually pay dividends in the next two games.
